Chapter 282: Freedom

Even though they were only on the phone and not facing each other, Huo Feng’s behavior still made Huo You shiver.

She shuddered and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your motive?”

Huo Feng didn’t answer Huo You’s question directly. He seemed to find this question very interesting and chuckled softly. He was clearly a youth who wasn’t even 18 years old, but his laughter had the maturity and charm of an adult.

Huo You’s mind wandered off, ‘Has Huo Feng reached the stage of voice changing? He seems to be coming of age soon…’

The next moment, Huo You was pulled back to reality from her wandering thoughts.

Huo Feng said in a low voice, “Actually, my motive is very simple. I just want to get what belongs to me. Sister, aren’t you the same?”

However, Huo You thought about it carefully but couldn’t imagine what it was that she wanted.

Rather than saying that Huo You wanted to get the things that should have belonged to her, it was more accurate to say that her ambitions were abstract and weren’t anything concrete. She wanted wealth, power, and the admiration of others. These were all illusory. As for how to realize her ambitions, Huo You didn’t have many thoughts about it…

At this moment, Huo You couldn’t be bothered to argue with Huo Feng anymore. She shook her head and threw away those irrelevant thoughts, saying, “Since we’re already business partners and I don’t have any other way out, you can trust me completely now, right?”

Huo Feng’s voice sounded very relaxed and joyous, “Of course I’ll believe you, Sister. Because right now, I’m the only one who can give you what you want.”

Huo You didn’t comment on this. What she was paying attention to now was another topic. “Then take it that the goal of me coming to apologize to Huo Tian has been fulfilled. You have to guarantee that the invitation will be sent to the Huo Family on time. If there are any mistakes, I’ll push all the blame onto you.”

“How heartless, Sister.” Huo Feng sighed and said, “But well, we are business partners now. I’ll be your firmest backing, so if Dad and Mom ask you, you just have to tell them that you’ve already received Sister Huo Tian’s promise and that they don’t have to worry.”

“Heh, given that couple’s personalities, how could they possibly believe in some kind of promise before seeing the invitation?”

“Since you’re worried that you won’t be able to deal with Dad and Mom’s questioning, then don’t go home first.” Huo Feng said with interest, “Oh right, Sister, where did you go last night? If it were in the past, this kind of behavior of not returning home at night would have been strictly criticized by Dad and Mom. But now, they’re not criticizing you. Doesn’t this feeling of not being supervised feel very free?”

Huo You sneered and hung up without answering.

This feeling of not being criticized despite having was indeed very liberating. Huo You did feel relaxed, but this was also because her parents didn’t care about her. Therefore, in her relaxed mood, Huo You still felt a little sad.

For some reason, Huo You thought of Ding Rong again. If she were still in the Ding Family, Ding Rong would definitely not allow her child to stay out at night.

Ding Rong was a gentle and strict woman. She seemed to be holding an invisible line in her hand and could always guide her child in the right direction. When the child wanted to find a safe harbor to return to, the child would always be able to follow that line back to their mother’s side. Perhaps this was true maternal love.

Unfortunately, she had already abandoned that maternal love. At the thought of this, Huo You’s lips curled up into an almost unnoticeable sad smile..
